Can Get Right Youth Engagement & Violence Prevention Pilot
Fund Phase 1 — our Youth Engagement & Violence Prevention Pilot — the first step on the road to The Promised Land, Can Get Right's $4M Youth Development Center.
A transparent distinction
CGR is a Christian organization. Our church and ministry programs include Bible teaching, prayer opportunities and discipleship connections. Our school-contracted edition uses nondevotional instruction focused on character, goals and entrepreneurship. Participation and support do not depend on religious belief.
We believe in being transparent with schools and families. While Can Get Right is a Christian organization, our school-contracted programs do not include undisclosed evangelism or religious outreach, and student information collected through school programming is not used for separate ministry outreach.
Get Right Character, Goals & Business Academies
Get Right Academy helps young people ages 10 to 22 build character, set direction, and develop practical pathways through education, mentorship, and opportunity.
Purpose before they become another statistic
We glorify Jesus Christ by educating, empowering, and elevating the next generation through mentorship, biblical truth, practical skills, and opportunities to serve.
Educate
Life skills, financial literacy, and career readiness that open doors.
Empower
Mentorship and brotherhood that build confidence and character.
Elevate
Real opportunities and positive outlets that change life trajectories.
"I lost my brother KJ to gun violence. That loss became my purpose."
From the streets to saving lives
Our founder grew up surrounded by violence, street culture, and limited opportunities. He knows firsthand the dangers young men face. After losing his close friend KJ to gun violence, he created Can Get Right to help young people find purpose.
Building Our First Youth Development Center
A safe haven with mentorship, studios, sports, career development, and mental wellness — designed to reduce violence and multiply opportunities for Milwaukee's youth.
